There are three proposals to be put to the House. Is the proposal for dealing with Tuesday's business agreed to? Agreed. Is the proposal for dealing with Wednesday's business agreed to? Agreed. Is the proposal for dealing with Thursday's business agreed to? Agreed. Before we start questions on promised legislation or the programme for Government, I urge Members to desist from taking the opportunity to make statements. We will test it today. Please do not try to circumvent the rules.
